Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful sunshine! At least we can officially say it’s summertime. šŸ˜‰ I was a little concerned earlier this year when we were feeling the summer heat before summer even started! I have a feeling all of us will be cheering for fall to come sooner than later once August comes. My couples/portrait clients have been troopers working through the humidity and high temps! Of course, though, the overcast weather has been appreciated. Hoping for more of those days when I’m photographing weddings/portraits this summertime. Otherwise, the sun is mandatory at the beach! šŸ˜‰

Things have been pretty busy on this end of the computer ā€” I feel like I haven’t written a “Weekend Recap” in WEEKS! I’m so appreciative of the support from you all, especially during the busy season! I have a couple of open weekends ahead I plan to use as catch up/relaxation time, and I’m stoked since I haven’t had a full weekend off in so long! Some of that time off will include a vacation with my family and friends. šŸ™‚ I cannot wait for some personal time since it’s very limited during this time of the year!

Since photographing my last wedding of June, I cannot help but reflect on the weddings I have photographed this first half of 2017. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude! Countless memories made with my sweet couples and priceless moments documented … It has been a SUPER fun year so far and can only imagine what the last half of 2017 will bring! šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚
